This article seeks to show how Spanish author Concha Lopez Narvaez, in Andanzas de don Quijote y Sancho, recreates the story in a way that makes it accessible to readers ten and older, including junior-high-school students of Spanish as a second language. The author does this through aspects of paratext, structure, point of view, characters, and language, the total effect of which is construction of a quite idealistic implied reader who places a high value on friendship.}, number={4}, journal={HISPANIA-A JOURNAL DEVOTED TO THE TEACHING OF SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE}, author={Salstad, Louise}, year={2007}, month={Dec}, pages={784–794} }

External conditions of the prize have been modified several times between 1958 and the present, in an apparent effort to adapt to changes in the sociopolitical climate and to balance such criteria as fairness and practicability. The annotated bibliography, presented here, of works that have won the prize for the text of highest literary quality shows that among the genres, narrative fiction predominates. The content of the prize winners over the years reflects Spain's gradual liberalization and opening to the outside world. Many prize-winning authors have influenced the evolution of children's literature through their innovations in form and content. Although the "Lazarillo" has not escaped criticism, the prize continues to enjoy great prestige in both Spain and Latin America.

 @article{salstad_1998, title={The influence of sacred oratory on Maria de Zayas: A case in point, La Fuerza del Amor}, volume={113}, DOI={10.1353/mln.1998.0029}, abstractNote={Marina S. Brownlee's essay "Postmodernism and the Baroque in Maria de Zayas" classifies the three prevailing views of Zayas' work as realistic, a faithful portrayal of life in seventeenth-century Spain; as exemplary narratives designed to celebrate establishment values; and as exclusively feminist (111, 113-15). Brownlee takes issue with each of these perspectives, proposing instead that we read the novellas as calling attention to the power of language and its complex performative function. "She [Zayas] presents a variety of potentially exemplary, totalizing discourses-feminist and masculinist-in their power both to represent legitimately and to manipulate illegitimately" (120). Brownlee goes on to speak of Zayas' "metalinguistic critique" of such venerable cultural institutions as marriage, honor, religion, and the justice system (120). This article will focus on the third of these institutions in the form of Golden Age sermons, and on how a particular novella by Zayas, La fuerza del amor, incorporates and responds to elements of their totalizing masculinist discourse.}, number={2}, journal={MLN (Modern Language Notes)}, author={Salstad, M.
